Didn't I just say that?

The only difference is that I know he does it to cover his baldness when he knows here's camera on him.

How dare he be self conscious about balding! Hang him from the rafters!

 

[Lingsface]

Hard to believe a coach who’s won 4 flags sits down at the team meeting and still thinks Coleman jones should be playing.

[mick500]

I would say north aren't the worst team that have played today.

 

[BallaratBulldog]

Derrwayne thinks GWS had a really tough game last week

 

[MarcMaverick]

Tell you what the Kangas are doing better than I thought they would

 

[SSSSSS]

North getting a good run from the umps. Thought that was stiff to call deliberate against Whitfield.

Tell you what the Kangas are doing better than I thought they would

They are pretty easy to score against but this is the first time in years where it looks like there are actual patterns of play with North.

Some good signs.

 

[Plugger35]

Mazda blew that one.

Same. Could even be a couple goals closer. Scotts looked good I reckon.

 

[SSSSSS]

If North can keep this under an 8 goal margin I think it would be a good moral victory.

 

[garlic munchers]

North getting a good run from the umps. Thought that was stiff to call deliberate against Whitfield.

Pretty much a free for all for the roos players to push in the back and scrag around the neck.

 

[Plugger35]

Too easy for Hogan, it would have been tougher for him playing for Peel Thunder against WAFL team defences.

North look like they have improved but their defence is still a real worry, a lot of key forwards will be kicking big bags against them.

 

[Franc de Borges]

Got the commentary turned off in favour of music. Who’s the guy that thinks he’s Jason Daniltchenko?

 

[Call Me Cake]

Reckon if the Roos can snag a goal before the last quarter I'd give em a chance

 

[Howard Littlejohn]

I would say north aren't the worst team that have played today.

Which other leagues have started?

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Nup. Tom Green has slaughtered the Oppo by himself.

Way too unselfish by Hogan.

nmfc are getting the Umps call.

Was not aware they got priority pick ump bonus.

 

[windyhill]

Norf lack that big body down back.

 

[Elixuh]

Reckon if the Roos can snag a goal before the last quarter I'd give em a chance

And it’s gone.

 

[Foucault1989]

North have a good midfield and forward line, very competitive. But their defence is surely the worst, or at least bottom 3, in the comp. They have no stars or winners down there.

 

[EagleMan87]

Xerri on world record pace for tackles by a ruckman.

 

[SSSSSS]

Fisher is like a smaller version of Frost.

Real heart in the mouth stuff when he has ball in hand.

He's currently stinking up my Supercoach team.

 

[NeutralFan]

Their high draft picks past two drafts + LDU & Larkey is a damn good core

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

If North can keep this under an 8 goal margin I think it would be a good moral victory.

Yerp. Very English…. What was that funny term? Oh yerp, Northball!

 

[Foucault1989]

They need some tall backs. Add someone like Lewis Melican, who decided to stay, and it looks a bit different. Has to be the focus in the off season - trade in a tall defender, and a quality intercept defender.

 

[The 747]

So the two Sydney teams will be top of the ladder in about an hour. Cool.
